Conclusions and recommendation.

Tourism sector is one of the leading growth industries of Nepal. Employment problem is rampant, population is increasing and limited source of foreign exchange, tourism offers opportunities to manage obvious aspects. Nepal has unique natural beauty to attract tourists. It can be maintain as it is by using it over and over without depletion by the means of sight seeing. The effect of the boom in tourism has been a dramatic increase in economic incentive for both government and private sectors and socio cultural incentive to preserve and revive the traditional local culture.

The share of world tourism captured by the developed nations is increasing. Majority of world tourist receipts go to the developed nations and only less percentage to the developing nations. Can we change this trend? Can Nepal to hope to attract larger number of tourists and tourist receipts in near future?

The response may be yes! For which she has to do, improve, change a lot of things. Among these, there are some major areas, which seem to be outstanding improvement is necessary.

Political stability and security is the most for tourism industry.

Improvement in health sector, in which they are fear of sickness. The common sickness is tourist diarrhoeas.
                         
Improvement in field of facilities like modern accommodation, hotels, lodges, and other necessary facilities. It may be a matter of controversy because of the limited capital whether such facilities, sophisticated and luxury hotels for tourist should given higher priority or to give on building roads, factories, hydroelectricity, public utilities, goods and service so on.

Improvement is needed in information sector. Inadequate resources for advertising and publicity stands as a barrier which limits tourism.

Improvement is necessary on the supply of trained (qualitative and quantities) tourism technicians. They are needed for effective formulation and execution of tourism plan. Educational institution is also needed to provide training and formulate manpower in this field. Travel and tourism subject are introduced in the course of +2 schools is the plus point in this aspect. Now days there are separate educational institutions which provide higher education for specialisation in this field.

Home stay programme is facing problem of tourism management. Management of home-stay programme is undertaking by elder persons because of the increasing outflow of youths to foreign country. Steps should be taken by government to stop outflow of youths to foreign country.

Tourism industry's role is very important in the development process. The infrastructure difficulties may act as disincentive for this. Government should make the policy to inflow private foreign capital for investment with Joint venture. Once this is done, it will generate other low capital investment employment opportunities like cycle hiring, taxi driver, maintenance worker, restaurants, bar laundries, retail shop, travel agencies, hair dresser, handicrafts etc.

Tourism must be developing year round industry not seasonal. Higher income group, medium income group, lower income group tourists must be targeted for year round.
These industries have only not sunny days but some cloudy days also. If people are aware from their own mind, theses can be overcome. There is a need to establish a good relationship between the tourism and its natural environment.
